Surviving the Bomb

Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms)

A quick roam through to Bamamake sees me watching everything in a faction warfare plex cloak as I land on the acceleration gate. I sensed a frustrating evening as this seems to be SOP for faction warfare. Perhaps a beacon inside the plexes that stopped all cloaking?

Anyways, I digress, I plan to pop into Bamamake before heading to Bosena, in Gulmogrod I'm in warp to the Ama gate, spamming the on-board scanner as is my way, a Panther appears on scan at the gate, a quick check of local confirms my suspicion, an old cloaky dramiel flying plex farmer now gate bomber waits for my arrival.

I turn on my damage control, overload my repper, turn it on as I land on the gate:

At half armour I jump through into Amamake.

Got my heart racing for a second.

I did get to have a great little 2v1 on the way to Bosena, an Atron and Slasher that didn't cloak as I warped to the small plex in Egmar, they killed three of my drones though, I do hate losing drones, but I love a good fight. Thumbs up to these guys for standing and fighting.

Nothing else for the evening so I headed back to Gusandall.
